good old days
To Mercyman:
Dear friend, it's been a long time.
Now I'm writing to you again
to simply tell you that
our friendship hasn't come to an end.
We met each other
and fought shoulder to shoulder
in that almost secluded world of wonder.
We had faith and power,
and aimed to rescue whoever had suffered.
While I am writing you this letter,
all I hear is Tagore and his beautiful words.
It says gently to my ears:
"Once we dreamt that we were strangers,we wake up to find that we were dear to each other."
God, it suits me now so well,
that it cannot be any better
forever and ever.
Yes friend,
that was the good old days I remembered.
But all of a sudden,
the game had changed and
something bad happened.
We were no heroes with no strength,
and we had lost contact then.
I had yearned for your return ever since.
Now is when
I need to write to you again
on your very big event.
Yes friend,
that was my guarantee that
I'd like to achieve
with all my might and main.
Indeed, nothing comes for free.
I was so ignorant of how friendship is
restored and maintained.
I lost many and yet had no courage
to tell myself that it's not all enjoyable
being alone, inner comfort became so
powerful that I forgot there are other ways.
I did not understand the little cost
that has to be paid.
I planned to win my old friends back
and it is also for my own sake.
So on your big day,
I won't be able to get you a cake
or anything that is beautifully made.
I only have these imperfect yet sincere
words for my best mate.
"old soliders never die,
they just fade away."
Yes, friend, even if I never reached you,
you will always be a part of my memory.
This is just what Mercy would say:
"Heroes never die, for a price."
I guess missing you is the price,
spending time writing to you is the price.
And it is so worth it.
Yes friend, I will always be here
waiting to tell you that:"Welcome back!"
Best regards, GuessWho para siempre
road ahead
